Sonomammography Test
Sonomammography or ultrasound of the breast is a non-invasive procedure performed to check the health of breasts. This test allows quick visualization of the breast tissue. A breast ultrasound or sonomammography is recommended:
When a breast lump (mass) or a general lumpiness is felt in the breast
To determine if the abnormality detected through mammography or a palpable
lump is a fluid-filled cyst or a solid tumour
If breast tissue is too dense to be assessed accurately by mammography
In high risk patients with family history of breast cancer, past history of breast
cancer or in females older than 35 years of age as a preventive measure to
screen for breast cancer
Additional method to evaluate the breast, when mammography is not so clear
Advantages of Sonomammography:
Quick & non-invasive
Painless
Inexpensive
Doesn’t require any prior preparation
Useful for evaluating breast masses
Identifies if a suspicious mass is a cyst (fluid-filled sac) without even placing a
needle into it to aspirate fluid
